[arm-allstar] "Repeat Only Mode"

[Mike Sullivan]

Repeat Only simply means that the node is not connected to any other node.
Do you have access to Supermon locally when you are at the tower and can
check the Allstar log to make sure that DTMF is being decoded correctly?

Also, I would recommend setting up a VPN either with Wireguard or OpenVPN
to bypass the NAT issue. I can send you instructions on what I do to set up
an OpenVPN connection, which will allow you to access from a server.
Virmach has VDS servers that are $2.25 a month. I use them with my mobile
node currently and have had no issues so far. There was a script floating
around to auto set up a VPN, but I can't find it on hand.
